Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
The Miscarriage Association helps by providing information and support when it’s most needed so I've signed up for this run in the hope that it raises awareness and makes a difference in supporting a truly important charity and all its amazing work.
Income from event sponsorship makes up more than a quarter of the M.A.’s £200,000 annual core budget, so every penny of your sponsorship will really make a difference. What’s more, if you are a UK taxpayer and Gift Aid whatever you give, you’re adding another 25% to the charity without it costing you a thing.
Take a look at the figures and see what your money can do:
£5 pays for sending out a pack of 4 information leaflets on miscarriage facts and feelings
£17 pays for helpline support and a leaflet pack for one person
£20 covers the cost of sending leaflet packs to four people
£50 will staff the helpline for an hour (responding to 2 to 5 requests for help)
£100 pays for two hours’ work on our social media platforms, reaching out to people affected by pregnancy loss.
£250 pays for printing 2,000 posters for display in hospitals, GP surgeries and libraries.
£500 contributes to the cost of developing online training resources for NHS staff caring for miscarriage patients
This is not a comfortable subject for most of us to talk about, which can leave people feeling even more alone and confused - I don't want this to be the case. The miscarriage association are there to support and guide people through the darkest of times and by doing this run I hope they gain some recognition for their dedicated work and hopefully raise some money to help them do it!
It's certainly going to be a challenge but this is such an important cause and I am going to fight that voice in my head that says I can't do this because I'm not a sporty person!! I WILL get there on the 27th May 2017!!!
Thank you so much for your support x
